Description

For the sensor stand of medical treatment transducer
Technical field
The open relate generally to of the present invention is used for the sensor stand of medical treatment transducer.
Background technology
In many cases, the information about the amount of oxygen in blood or more preferably blood flow is desired.This is often characterized by oxygen content or the oxygen saturation of blood.Oximeter can provide the information of this type and normally well-known in the art.Be used for determining that the patient data of oxygen content/saturation is monitored by operatively mutual with oximeter oximeter sensor/measured by oximeter.
Oximeter sensor typically adopts with a pair light source of different wavelength emission light, and one or more optical detector.By oximeter, the signal of telecommunication is supplied to oximeter sensor, thus operates this light source (such as, making each light source " pulsation " according to predetermined pattern) in a predetermined manner.From each light source in this light source light will or by blood absorption, or will to be received by detector by the tissue of patient and blood completely.The signal of telecommunication from detector is provided back oximeter.About how operating light source, the wavelength of these two light sources and the information of amount of the light that arrived detector by blood be all used for calculating the oxygen content/saturation of blood by oximeter.Then this information will typically be shown to be checked by suitable personnel.
Various factors is had to facilitate the entirety success of specific oximeter sensor support.A factor is its comfortableness when being positioned on relevant body part.Will expect to have a kind of oximeter sensor support, it provides patient comfort at least to a certain degree, and can not cause the wearing skin of patient when long periods of wear.By things such as the size of such as oximeter sensor support, shape and weight, and oximeter sensor support and patient are interacted, at least to reduce the probability of formation " pressure spot ", thus realize the patient comfort that strengthens.The uneven distribution being applied to the power on patient by oximeter sensor support can be impelled and form less desirable pain, and the pressure necrosis likely in patient's skin surface.
Another kind of well-known discomfort is the perspiration of related physical part.Sensor support structure is more closed, and its perspiration that can cause is more, and thus at least clear-headed patient trends towards oneself cooling finger, and this causes measuring stopping.In addition too much perspiration adds clean needs.
As reusable oximeter sensor, one of them maximum challenge is the durability of sensor stand together with comfortableness.The known mechanical fault of oximeter sensor support is the contingent wire fracture when cable bends repeatedly relative to sensor stand.Just in time separated by the single wire in cable after bending release (flex relief) is attached to the point of sensor stand if oximeter sensor support Design becomes, will have the mechanical point of interruption, this can cause described fracture.
The multiple competition for oximeter sensor support design is had to consider.First, sensor stand should have the ability realizing the emitter in sensor stand and the reliable interaction between detector and patient skin.Secondly, oximeter sensor support should be suitable for misery minimum for patient or discomfort and is applied to patient fast and removes from patient.Finally, oximeter sensor support should provide the soft contact surface with the skin of patient.
Various mode is had to be kept contacting with the tissue of patient by emitter/detector; But two kinds of common types are flexible with clip type sensor stand.Many current available clip type sensor stands have hard shell body, and this hard shell body has large volume (high profile), and is remained on finger by the effect of spring.The pulse in the blood supply of finger can be weakened or eliminate owing to pointing upper excessive pressure, these springs relative inability wittingly.This compromise result is that the sensor stand that spring keeps easily drops from finger.For finger sensor support desirably only remain on finger with slight pressure, and can not easily be shifted simultaneously.In addition it is also challenging for reaching the adaptation of the finger of various sizes with the sensor stand with hinge.Flexible sensor support can comprise elastic support simply, and emitter/detector is arranged on this elastic support to place around patient's appendage.
There is the known sensor support Design being designed to provide equally distributed pressure around finger.But there is no sensor stand designed to the shape equaling human finger.Those supports near finger shape design do not have around pointing distribution pressure equably.And most of known sensor stand design is enclosed construction, thus only near-end and far-end are openings, cause being easy to perspire and humidity between sensor stand and finger.The minority sensor stand design of the hole on the sensor stand between introducing two ends or opening has the height probability producing pressure spot on the edge leaning on the opening that finger is placed.And opening does not cool the skin in other places, and just at open area cooling skin, because there is no air circulation between those openings and near-end/far-end.

Detailed description of the invention
Specific embodiment is explained with reference in the following detailed description of accompanying drawing.These detailed embodiments certainly can be changed and should not limit scope of the present invention as disclosed in the claims.
Fig. 1,2 and 3 shows sensor stand 1 from different sides.Sensor stand 1 has at least one position 3 of such as depression, can be placed on the appendage (as finger or toe) of object, with the blood of measuring object or component of organization and/or pulse rate to make the medical treatment transducer 4 shown in Fig. 4.Blood constituent is such as the amount of oxygen, metahemoglobin, carboxyhemoglobin.Sensor stand 1 and the typical combination of sensor 4 often make for measuring oxygen saturation together with pulse oximeter.Sensor stand 1 comprises housing 2, this housing 2 preferably can be made up of the elasticity molded polymer of such as silicon, and this housing can carry out around the sensor 4 comprising electronic device coated molded (overmold), or can be device molded separately, it will be equipped with the sensor needed for measuring.Thus sensor 4 can form overall structure with sensor stand 1, or sensor stand can be the part of separating with sensor.
Housing 2 surrounds the hollow bulb 5 with first end 6 and the second end 7, and as shown in Figure 4, this figure is the cross section of the line A-A along Fig. 1.The first end 6 of hollow bulb 5 is openings, and is designed so that appendage can be inserted to hollow bulb 5 by this first end 6, and hollow bulb 5 at least extends to the position 3 for medical treatment transducer 4.In this embodiment, sensor 4 comprises the one or more emitters 8 for launching one or more wavelength depending on the composition that needs are measured, and for detecting one or more detectors 9 of the emission wavelength through tissue, then appendage will at least extend until this sensor 4, so that the wavelength launched by emitter 8 can through organizing and arriving the detector 9 relative with emitter 8 in hollow bulb 5.In the embodiment illustrated in figure 4, the tip of appendage should be positioned between emitter 8 and detector 9.Second end 7 of hollow bulb 5 can be closed, or can be opening, or outs open as shown in Figure 4, prevents from appendage being pushed through the second end 7, but allows the tip of fingernail to thrust the second end 7.In after this kind of alternate ways, the second end 7 comprises retainer 14, to find appendage relative to the optimal location of the position of sensor 4 and suitable to thrust the degree of depth.
Fig. 1,2,3 and 4 shows the bending releasing structure 10 for cable 11, this cable 11 can be connected between sensor 4 and monitor (not shown), for the function of guiding sensor 4, and based on the signal determination measurement result received from sensor 4.Bending releasing structure can be a part for housing 2, and its carrying is from cable 11 to the bending force of sensor 4.Housing 2 comprises pipeline 12 as shown in Figure 4.The cross section of this pipeline is enough little of to press cable 11 securely.Desirably allow pipeline 12 to extend this housing shell length over half between its near-end 15 and far-end 16 in housing 2, form fixedly securing between housing 2 and cable 11.Pipeline 12 and bending releasing structure 10 also at housing 2 extension, can exceed near-end 15, or exceed the far-end 16 of housing 2 in some other embodiments.
Jacket cables 11 extends to the position 3 for medical treatment transducer 4 in pipeline 12 belt leather.Holding wire 19 as shown in Figure 2 in cable 11 is separated in for the position 3 of medical treatment transducer 4, to maintain the ruggedness of initial cable (raw cable) in bending releasing structure 10.Need the separation of holding wire 19 to be formed into the connection of sensor 4, sensor 4 comprises emitter 8 on the opposite side being such as positioned at the housing 2 surrounding hollow bulb 5 and the sensor element of detector 9.Fig. 4 illustrates the relative device of the such as detector 9 be also placed on for the sensor 4 on the position 3 of medical treatment transducer 4, and it is in this embodiment on the opposite side of the emitter 8 of sensor.In the case, the holding wire 19 of requirement is drawn towards this position 3 for medical treatment transducer 4, and is connected on detector 9.Position 3 for medical treatment transducer 4 covers with suitable material such as silicon.
Wireless system (not shown) also may mean the bending releasing structure 10 not needing to comprise pipeline 12 and cable 11, and it can be substituted by the signal receiver wirelessly communicated with monitor and emitter.This type of wireless system can be equipped with the small-size energy of such as battery.
Housing 2 advantageously has a compositing area 20 of other surface offsets by covering appendage making this housing 2 as shown in Figures 2 and 3.This compositing area 20 is included in the edge 21 of the rigidity substantially on near-end 15, and it is resistance to stress during appendage penetrates housing 2 inside, and the support ring 22 on the height at the position 3 for medical treatment transducer 4.Support ring 22 is hollow, and to be formed for holding wire 19 to the path at the position 3 for medical treatment transducer 4, this position is in this embodiment on the opposite side of the emitter of sensor 4.This housing 2 is for having tapered portion 13 between the position 3 of medical treatment transducer 4 or the rigid edge 21 of support ring 22 and near-end 15 in addition, so that sensor is bending, and this tapered portion 13 makes housing 2 thinner than those other parts of the housing between support ring 22 and rigid edge 21.On the surface of the housing 2 that this tapered portion 13 will extrude when bending appendage in the embodiments of figure 3.
Fig. 5 shows the cross section of the sensor stand 1 of Fig. 2 that B-B along the line gets, and Fig. 6 shows the view of the near-end of the sensor stand 1 of Fig. 1.The housing 2 of sensor stand comprises the first passage 30 for the gas volume after visible hollow bulb 5 equally in the diagram.The ventilation of this hollow bulb and appendage when the first passage 30 having widened hollow bulb 5 allows appendage to insert hollow bulb.Border between first passage 30 and hollow bulb 5 does not have continuous print edge, and this border only can be partly opening in the case, but allows the gas volume of first passage and hollow bulb or be inserted in the interior side contacts of the appendage in this hollow bulb.Can be bored a hole fully in continuous print edge.Or the border between first passage 30 and hollow bulb 5 is preferably basic without any edge.This first passage can extend to the far-end 16 of housing 2 from the near-end 15 of housing 2.At least three holes are arranged as shown in Figure 5 in order to ventilate.Ventilation between first hole 31 and the second hole 32 allow outside first passage 30 and housing 2.This ventilation is based on the air-flow around sensor stand 1 and between first passage 30 or gas exchange.First hole 31 and the second hole 32 can be positioned on the opposite end of first passage 30, and the first hole 31 can be arranged in the near-end 15 of housing 2 in the case, and the second hole 32 is in the far-end 16 of housing 2.Also have the 3rd hole 33 between the opposite end of first passage 30, it, typically in the centre of opposite end, improves the ventilation of first passage 30.Other hole can also be had between opposite ends.The shape and size in hole and position can change.The ventilation improved can cool appendage, and therefore reduces perspiration, and this is typical problem when using conventional sensors support.This helps to be avoided mobile appendage further, reduces artefact (artefact).
The housing 2 of sensor stand 1 also can comprise the second channel 40 of the gas volume after the hollow bulb 5 as shown in Figures 5 and 6 for also showing in the diagram.Hollow bulb 5 widened by this second channel 40, ventilation when allowing its ventilation and appendage to insert in this hollow bulb 5.Second channel 40 can be similar with the first passage 30 discussed above.Border between second channel 40 and hollow bulb 5 does not have continuous print edge equally, and this border only can be partly opening in the case, but allows the gas volume of second channel and hollow bulb 5 or be inserted in the interior side contacts of the appendage in this hollow bulb.Can be bored a hole fully in continuous print edge.Or the border between second channel 40 and hollow bulb 5 is preferably basic without any edge.In addition this second channel can extend to the far-end 16 of housing 2 from the near-end 15 of housing 2.At least three holes are arranged in order to ventilate.Ventilation between 4th hole 41 and the 5th hole 42 allow outside second channel 40 and housing 2.This ventilation is based on the air-flow around sensor stand 1 and between second channel 40 or gas exchange.4th hole 41 and the 5th hole 42 can be positioned on the opposite end of second channel 40, and the 4th hole 41 can be arranged in the near-end 15 of housing 2 in the case, and the 5th hole is in the far-end 16 of housing 2.Also have the 6th hole 43 between the opposite end of second channel 40, it typically in the centre of opposite end, improves ventilation.Other hole can also be had between opposite ends.The shape and size in hole and position can change.The ventilation improved also can cool appendage, and therefore reduces perspiration, as discussing about first passage.
As shown in Figures 5 and 6, first passage 30 and second channel 40 relative to each other have distance, but they have widened hollow bulb 5.When appendage is positioned in hollow bulb 5, the side of appendage does not contact with housing 2.First passage 30 and second channel 40 can be positioned on the not homonymy of hollow bulb 5, and typically on the opposite sides, the ventilation of appendage both sides is responsible for by first passage and second channel in the case.First passage 30 is advantageously substantially parallel to second channel 40, this means first passage and second channel when appendage inserts in hollow bulb 5 and appendage substantial parallel.First passage 30 and second channel 40 can be straight after hollow bulb 5 in addition, and hollow bulb 5 also can be straight.If this hollow bulb is with the shape of appendage, then first passage and second channel can be straight substantially together with hollow bulb.Naturally likely the mode of design straight is substantially different to design this first passage and second channel with first passage and second channel.
3rd hole 33 can be positioned on such edge of first passage 30, and the border between this edge and hollow bulb 5 and first passage 30 separates.Preferably the 3rd hole 33 is on the relative edge of first passage, matches, and do not contact with appendage, to avoid the pressure spot on skin with the public boundary of hollow bulb 5 and first passage 30.3rd hole 33 can be essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of hollow bulb 5.3rd hole 33 is between support ring 22 and the rigid edge 21 of near-end 15 in a preferred embodiment.This class formation decreases and makes us uncomfortable sensation, is exactly like this at the edge in hole by fact when being pressed on appendage.
6th hole 43 can be positioned on such edge of second channel 40 similarly, and the border between this edge and hollow bulb 5 and second channel 40 separates.Preferably the 6th hole 43 is on the relative edge of second channel 40, matches, and do not contact with appendage, to avoid the pressure spot on skin with the common boundary of hollow bulb 5 and second channel 40.6th hole 43 equally can perpendicular to or be essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of hollow bulb 5.6th hole 43 is between support ring 22 and the rigid edge 21 of near-end 15 in a preferred embodiment.
Fig. 7 shows the sensor stand 1 when appendage 50 inserts in hollow bulb 5.This figure also show this design and how to allow between the near-end 15 of housing 2 and far-end by the air-flow in the first hole 32, hole 31, second and the 3rd hole 33 or gas exchange.Arrow 51 in Fig. 6 shows the expansion of the housing 2 when using together with the appendage of different size.Housing 2 keeps its finger type to design when stretching.
Hole between the first hole 31 and the second hole 32---the 3rd hole 33 of such as first passage 30, and be positioned at the 6th hole 43 between the 4th hole 41 and the 5th hole 42 (they are on the opposite end of second channel 40) accordingly---cross-sectional area should be at least 32mm 2, more specifically at least 62mm 2, or even more specifically at least 70mm 2.It should be noted that the 3rd hole and the 6th hole can be divided into some holes, the group in such as hole as shown in Figure 8, but the common cross-sectional area in some 3rd holes or the 6th hole can be identical with the cross-sectional area in independent hole.
Replace two passages be separated, such as be responsible for first passage 30 and the second channel 40 of the ventilation of hollow bulb 5 or appendage both sides, a passage extended can be had, its can be to extend after hollow bulb with from the side of hollow bulb 5 to opposite side around first passage 30.Such as, this passage can around the second end 7 of hollow bulb 5.Then the first hole 31 and the second hole 32 can be positioned on the near-end 15 of housing 2, if but this channel arrangement become around the first end 6 of hollow bulb 5, then the first hole 31 and the second hole 32 can be positioned on the far-end 16 of housing.Equally when the passage that this extends, expect there are at least three holes in the channels, as previously discussed, when the 3rd hole 33 is between the opposite end of first passage 30, the first hole 31 and the second hole 32 are positioned on the opposite end of first passage 30.Because this passage extends, may have reason to increase by the 4th hole between the first hole and the second hole.In order to make ventilation more effective, the 5th hole is desired, but it will be made even more effective to first passage increase the 6th hole of this prolongation.Advantageously between the opposite end of passage, have at least two these pores equally in the case, this some holes has above for the 3rd hole and the 6th determined cross-sectional area in hole.
Fig. 6 is the view of the near-end of the sensor stand 1 of Fig. 1, shows the insied width A of housing 2.The insied width A comprising the width of first passage 30, second channel 40 and hollow bulb between the two 5 is at least 30.5mm at near-end 15 place of housing 2, more specifically at least 33mm, or even more specifically maximum is 34.7mm.When insied width comprises first passage 30, second channel 40 and hollow bulb 5 between the two, the insied width B of housing 2 is at least 25mm at far-end 16 place of housing 2, more specifically at least 27mm, or even more specifically maximum is 29.5mm.These insied width sizes are particularly useful for the sensor stand being designed for adult.
As shown in Figure 4, the inner height C of hollow bulb 5 is at least 7.5mm at near-end 15 place of housing 2, more specifically at least 8.2mm, or even more specifically maximum is 8.9mm.The inner height D of hollow bulb 5 is at least 7mm at far-end 16 place (position 3 for medical treatment transducer 4 is positioned at herein) of housing 2, more specifically at least 7.5mm, or even more specifically maximum is 8.3mm.These width and height dimension to make it possible on appendage distribution pressure equably.Because size proves cross-sectional area proximally 15 distally 16 reductions of hollow bulb 5, it is made to be conical.These height dimensions same are particularly useful for the sensor stand being designed for adult.
An advantage of the sensor stand 1 discussed above is its reusability, and it is firmly attached on the appendage of object, reduces and sanguimotor any interference simultaneously.This sensor stand can adapt to the size of various appendage, and antipollution.Because the hollow bulb between appendage and sensor stand 1 does not cave in and gap on the surface, allow air-flow or gas exchange, decrease the movement relative to appendage.Sensor stand is durable, and is configured to be easy to assembling.Because Sensor section is as the ability of movement between emitter 8 and detector 9, sensor 4 keeps allowing the form around appendage distribution pressure equably by sensor stand 1, and no matter how points size.Advantage is also had to be that the interior shape of the hollow bulb 5 of sensor stand 1 keeps its appendage shape to design when stretching.This printed instructions uses the open the present invention of example, comprises optimal mode, and makes those skilled in the art can manufacture and use the present invention.The present invention can the scope of granted patent be defined by the claims, and can comprise other example that those skilled in the art expect.If this type of other example has the structural member of the literal language being tantamount to claims, if or they comprise the equivalent construction element that there is no essential distinction with the literal language of claims, then this type of other example is intended to be in the scope of claims.
